I have a 1980 V150 that runs great from half throttle on up. Idle to half throttle it loads up and starts to flood. I have replaced carb floats, carb gaskets, needles and seats, and cleaned carbs thoroughly. I also check the primer soleniod and don't think it is leaking. I am proped correctly so I am not bogging the motor either. It comes right out of the water. It will load up at idle out of gear too Any suggestions?

First check the fuel pump diaghram for leaks. If it leaks it will dump raw fuel into the crankcase. If that is not it, does that motor have adjustable idle mixture needles? If so, they may need some adjusting.
